Hi Alberto,
I had a similar problem a few weeks ago, and Rene pointed me to a good
solution. You can ask the TROOT object for a list of all objects, see
whether or not they inherit from abstract class TH1 or whatever you want to
save, and then Write() them to the file. This is nice because you can
globally save all histograms in one go without doing it for all the
histograms individually in your code. I append a code snippet, where I save
all TH1's and derived classes to a file.
void saveHisto1d (const char * file)
{
TFile *hfile = new TFile(file,"RECREATE","");
TList *l = TROOT.GetList();
// l->ls();
TIter next(l);
TObject *obj;
while((obj = (TObject*) next()))
if (obj->InheritsFrom("TH1")) obj->Write();
// hfile->ls();
delete hfile;
}
Enjoy,
Martin
